Horsham’s breast cancer support group FriendsAbreast celebrated its 30th anniversary alongside this year’s Mini Field of Women event, recognising people who have experienced breast cancer.
Long-time member Marcia Carrick said many towns celebrated national breast cancer month, October, with the pink lady event. “We’re here today to remember the ones who have gone before us, the ones who are on the journey, and the survivors,” she said.

Mrs Carrick said FriendsAbreast was a small, supportive group.
“We have been going for 30 years and we have met some wonderful people along the way, and still will do that,” she said.
The group was formed in October 1994 by Horsham nurse Pat James, who recognised a need for women to be supported following a diagnosis of breast cancer.
